    This was one of the best meals I’ve had in Atlanta in ages. This restaurant should be fully booked every night and I hope more people try it. We had the Smokey Bloom & Toki Highball to drink with our appetizers - the garlic bread, aguachile, and the crispy shrimp. DO NOT skip the crispy shrimp!!! We also had the chicken (excellent use of celery leaves) and the steak with salt & vinegar frites. For dessert, we got the grilled pineapple, but I wanted to get all three desserts. The portion sizes were generous and the flavors were unique and well-executed. The servers were knowledgeable and very genuine, with great timing. I cannot wait to come back here for happy hour and more crispy shrimp. I will tell everyone I know to come eat here. Highly recommend!
